Judicial Nominee Says Prayers to Allah Okay, But Not to Jesus
The Traditional Vaules Coalition ^ | 3/26/09

Posted on 03/31/2009 7:31:29 PM PDT by Revel

True to his campaign promises, President Barack Hussein Obama has picked a rabid judicial activist as his first federal court pick. Judge David Hamilton has been chosen by Obama to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit.

Hamilton is precisely what Obama wants in a judge: Someone who ignores the Constitution and imposes his own liberal ideas on each case. Hamilton will have what Obama calls “empathy” for the poor, child molesters, abortionists, murderers, etc.

Hamilton has ideal liberal credentials. He is a former ACLU lawyer and was a fundraiser for the corrupt group known as ACORN. This organization engages in fraudulent voter registration campaigns and is deeply involved in housing and poverty issues. Obama was an attorney for ACORN when he worked as a “community organizer” in Chicago. ACORN will be gathering data for the 2010 Census.

This lawyer is so radical that the liberal ABA rated him as “not qualified” when Bill Clinton nominated him for a district court post in 1994.

As a judge, Hamilton was a friend of abortionists, criminals, drug pushers and child sex offenders. He made is easier for child sex offenders to move around Indiana by invalidating a law designed to protect children. He helps criminals by suppressing evidence and warrants. He has ruled against waiting periods for those women seeking abortions.

Hamilton is also an enemy of the First Amendment and religious freedom. Interestingly enough, Hamilton has ruled that prayers in Jesus Name at the Indiana House of Representatives was unconstitutional, but prayers to Allah were not.

The Senate Judiciary Committee should soundly reject him as an out-of-control radical who has no respect for the Constitution or the rule of law. With a liberal majority on this committee, however, it is likely that Hamilton will be easily approved and his nomination will then go to the full Senate for confirmation. With a liberal majority in the Senate, his confirmation is virtually assured.

Hamilton’s confirmation will be one more nail in the coffin of freedom in America – and Obama will have been the hammer.

It’s going to be a very, very grim four years; it remains to be seen whether or not anything at all even remotely resembling the United States as it has been understood since the Founding will emerge at the far end of this malignant and knuckleheaded administration. There is so far precious little evidence in support of hope, IMO.

You have to b a REALLY bad lawyer for the ABA to rate an ACLU lawyer as “not qualified”. Yet the zero thinks that he would be a good choice for America!

Does he TRY to come up with the worst possible people to put in these positions or is he just that incompetent?

Our Christian theology teaches that God is in control. Three SCOTUS nominees are coming up under the Obamanation’s watch. At the risk of sounding like a pat robertsonite, one must conclude that Obama is God’s punishment upon America for its sins, one of the most heinous being abortion

This is one of the foreseen consequences of those conservatives who chose to not vote in November or to advocate letting the Democrat win so the Republicans would “learn their lesson”. Elections have consequences far beyond the next election and appointing judges to lifetime posts is one of those consequences.

This is a “bait and switch”.

Dumbo nominated this sick scumbag Hamilton in order to throw a bone to the Republicans - - give them somebody they should have little problem defeating - - so that the next liberal activist Dumbo nominates will look “moderate” by comparison and will be that much more difficult to defeat.

Give Dumbo’s handlers credit - - they know how to play the game.

Although I have no doubt David Hamilton is a radical liberal, I’d like to see a link to that case.

We know that God does send down judgments upon us for our sins. We just don't usually know which judgments are for what sins until it is revealed to us or He explicitly tells us. I hope you are wrong but you could be very right.

Say a prayer for America tonight.

Yeah, that too. But we mistakenly believe so much of what we do can be reversed if necessary during the next election and that doesn’t hold true for judicial appointments.

Obama first Federal Court pick: (why doesn’t this surprise me?)

“The Senate Judiciary Committee should soundly reject him as an out-of-control radical who has no respect for the Constitution or the rule of law.

ABA BIASED ----National Law Journal

Excerpt from March 18th issue quoted at Volokh: "..... soon-to-be-released study by political scientists concludes what conservative groups have long charged: The [ABA] ratings [of judicial nominees] are biased against potential conservative nominees.”

The study by political scientists at three Georgia universities, reported on in today’s National Law Journal, is based on examination of all federal appeals court nominees from 1985 to 2008. Specifically, the study found that

“Nominees appointed by Democratic presidents are more likely to receive higher ABA ratings than nominees appointed by Republican presidents. The more conservative the nominee, the less likely he or she will receive a high ABA rating.”

Well he's gonna get a new rating now that Obama has tapped him.

Shall we start a pool on what the "new improved" Obamatized rating will be?
